I have not, but those who have seem to love it. It's approaching Vintage status.

Absolutely love mine

Absolutely love mine. Very reliable and sturdy. Crashed on 1st flight when WiFi dropped out but no issues since.

I picked up two Chroma drones recently, just finished transplanting all the running gear of #1 into a new body due to a crack on the arm of original. The second one is still on the bench. I gave #1 a whirl this morning....flew through 3 batteries (without camera) to thoroughly test it out. I really enjoy the handling and docile-when-needed flight behavior...I also turned off the limits (right stick down, toggling mode switch 4 times) and flew around like crazy just for fun, man does this thing scoot! Also very impressed with the flight times on a battery (granted I wasn't carrying a camera, but still).
Here's a video of some of my more sedate flight testing from this morning, filmed with a Yuneec Breeze just hanging in a hover.

Say I don't suppose you want to sell the main board off the one that is a spare parts now?
If so let me know how much you want for it.

Not so much spare parts, I'm actually planning on getting it flight worthy very soon. It really just requires a new receiver harness wired into place and a GPS antenna re-mounted. I may choose to sell one of them ready-to-fly with a ST10+ transmitter soon, but I want to fly them both for a while to fully test, calibrate and insure that they are ready to go. I've got lots of extra parts, gopro gimbals (2), a CG03, Itelite long range antenna and lots of other stuff to go through....I really like the way these fly, so I might just keep it all too!

Yes. I have one and love it.

WTFDproject · Dec 12, 2018

I have a couple of them. I have been flying one of them almost every day for a couple of years. The other I fly every once in awhile. Other than one dead battery, I have had NO problems with either of them.

That cannot be done.

For those needing parts your best source will be Yuneec. Although Horizon Hobby was the prime distributor their service department often sent them back to Yuneec for repairs. As the Chroma has been discontinued for close to 2 years it's highly probably Horizon has very few spares left in inventory. All the parts were sourced from Yuneec.

There are Chroma parts available should there be any interest on E Bay all kinds available. From reputable selling sources.
